3.5.1 Contact transducers<br />

are used <strong>for</strong> direct contact inspections, and are generally hand manipulated.<br />

They have elements protected in a rugged casing to withstand sliding contact<br />

with a variety of materials. These transducers have an ergonomic design so<br />

that they are easy to grip and move along a surface. They often have<br />

water, grease, oils, or commercial materials are used to remove the air gap<br />

between the transducer and the component being inspected.
